Angry White Boy

[llubon]

The author believes exclusion is the reason for the onslaught of recent school shooting by whites males. White males do you feel excluded?


"What's the common thread among the school shootings at Columbine, Jonesboro, Paducah, Conyers, Oregon, Alberta, and the other copycats? The shooters were all alienated middle-class white males."

"Until recently, alienated middle-class white male teens could take solace in their being accepted, indeed, extolled by mainstream society. Today, however, the white male teen who is rejected by peers is also de facto rejected by the mainstream society"

I don't think there are any white, male, middle-class teens on this forum. And I think you missed the author's main point, which was the polarizing nature of education.

No, I think you refuse to see his point.

And people of color have been excluded for decades in history books, education and everything else but they didn't shoot up schools and commit suicide. What AWM's need is angry management and a class or two on how to deal with a crisis in a non-violent way.

Do you mean this point?

I believe that an essential part of the solution is to ensure that the media and schools aren't celebratory of everyone but white males.

And this?

It seems that, outside of science and math, much of today's curriculum is inadvertently polarizing; much of the discussion centers around race, class, gender, and sexual orientation--with recommendations typically that middle-class white males are the bad guys. That can engender anger from a teenager who already feels that everyone is against him.

It seems to me the author is holding the education system responsible in large part.

So it's good times for black gay guys? LOL I have noticed how Hollywood has mostly had a black dude like Denzel save all the hapless whites.The only problem is that is fairytale BS not reality where babymommas are constantly trying to figure out who the babydaddy is. How is that for a generalization?

The author is looking for an excuse and you bit. He thinks the poor little white boy is being left out. No one is being excluded, especially the poor little white boy. It's actually some of them can't handle stress or life very well.

Why would you share the article without comment, if you disagree with his conclusions?

markh is a case in point. He believes all heros should be white. He believes this is his entitlement. Most likely he believes Columbus discovered America.

Those movies are all like 20 years old...I think the most recent is 10...

Personally I think the Bond franchise is an attempt to play up heroes from the old country at the expense of good ole 'Mericans...

But I actually enjoyed them all.
